"Buffy!" Scott called out angrily as he followed the blonde out of the dance.
Stopping to turn around, Buffy frowned, not understanding the angry tone directed at her. Rolling her eyes and heaving a sigh when she saw Scott Hope, she waited. "What is it Scott, I kind of want to get home?" The blonde slayer really wasn't in the mood to deal with the guy who'd just dumped her a few days ago.
Glaring at the girl in front of him, Scott put his hands on his hips. "Just because I broke up with you, doesn't mean you have to get your friend to spread rumors about me."
Looking at the guy in disbelief, Buffy said, "Willow and Xander would never do anything like that." Under her breath she mumbled softly to herself. "Though it would be kind of cool if they did."
"Not them, that brunette, Faith!" Scott said, still angry, still glaring.
Beyond caring about this extremely petty problem compared to all the others in her life, Buffy laughed right in the boy's face. Shrugging her shoulders and still smiling at the guy seething with hostility, she said, "I can't stop Faith from doing anything she wants to do, she's a big girl." When Scott turned around in a huff and stormed back into the dance, Buffy started laughing again. "The only thing I regret is not knowing what she said."
"I made comments about using cream a doctor gave us to take away a burning, itching, something or other attacking his unit." Faith said with a smirk as she stepped out of the shadows where she'd been watching. "Saw him follow you out, thought you could use back up, but I was wrong."
Smiling at her fellow slayer, Buffy said, "Thank you for the back up anyway, and the Scott thing."
Her smirk turning into a full smile, Faith nodded her head. "Not a problem B. You skipping out?"
"Yeah, not in a dancing mood anymore." Tilting her head to the side, she asked, "You wanna bail with me? We could go back to my place and watch a movie or something?"
Faith heard the hopeful note in the blonde's voice and her insides did a happy dance. "Sure." She said casually, playing it cool. "Do I get to pick the flick?" Her smirk once again in place as she and the shorter girl started walking.
Shrugging her shoulders, Buffy looked over at the brunette while they walked. "Doesn't matter to me." Buffy placed her hand on her stomach in surprise when a pleasant shock went through her body. "Good low down tickle." She whispered to herself, quoting Faith from a conversation they'd had some time ago.
"What'd ya say B?" Faith asked innocently, but before she got an answer she caught the blonde girl as she started to fall. Scooping up the older slayer, she looked at the girl with concern. "You alright B?"
"Yeah." Looking up into Faith's brown eyes, becoming ensnared in their depths. "Faith, if I do something you don't like, can you yell at me later and not tell anyone?" When the brunette frowned in confusion, but nodded anyway, Buffy's head bent forward to capture the younger slayer's full lips with her own.
When the blonde finally ended the kiss, leaving the brunette afraid she was gonna send them both to the ground with how weak her knees were, Faith couldn't stop the smile from forming. "So what happens if that's something I do like B?"
Smiling happily at her fellow slayer, Buffy asked, "We go out?"
Nodding her head as she started to walk down the street with the blonde still in her arms, Faith smirked. "That's five by five with me girlfriend, so let's get to that movie."
Laughing softly, Buffy rested her head on her girl's shoulder. "Just wait until the guys find out."
"X-man will have happy fantasies." Faith said with a laugh.
